Who I'd love to meet from here...



Recommended Posts

I was talking to my boyfriend about some of the people I've met on here, and being all the way on the other side of the world, I doubt it would ever happen, but in terms of people who have supported me, inspired me, challenged me and made me laugh, I have to say, given the chance, I'd love to meet some of my fellow bandsters like bayousgirl, Mystic Highwayman, carolinagirl, hazelbliss, bandedblake, Solacspree and some oldies like Jachut and elcee (who actually live near me lol), BigLou, maenchen and rolltide, though there are plenty more.

Some of the friendships I have made on here have been amazing, and online or not, they have been true friendships.

One day I hope to go to the beach with bayou, or see Vegas with Mystic, or go spend time on the farm with hazel or party with maenchen and rolltide, but until then, I hope they know that they continue to be some of my best support and great friends.

I hear you. This forum is my sole support group (I have individuals who support me, thankfully, but no "group") and I am so very grateful to those on here who educate, motivate, support and inspire me.

Any bandsters who come to Paris---and EVERYBODY should come to Paris at least once in their lives--please let me know.

I have just seen this thread.

Thanks Lellow, more than happy to meet, we can always plan a coffee or shopping trip or something in the city when we both have time off.

Yes I would love to meet a heap of people from here too. A Lapband meetup would be awesome, only problem is funds or lack thereof. Maybe we should approach Allergan or whoever owns the band these days and suggest that they need to make a new ad and that we should all be in it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
